Web services style options

Information on Web services Style options available for SOAP Genero Web services. There is no style concept in REST.

The Web services Style options available for created SOAP Genero Web services are WS-I (Web services Interoperability organization) compliant:

  • RPC Style Service (RPC/Literal) is generally used to execute a function, such as a service that returns a stock option.

  • Document Style Service (Doc/Literal) is generally used for more sophisticated operations that exchange complex data structures, such as a service that sends an invoice to an application, or exchanges a Word document.

  • RPC Style Service (RPC/Encoded) is the legacy style, now provided for backward compatibility. You most likely will not be using the RPC/Encoded style to create new Web services.
